i dont really remember much about this so forgive me if this is somewhere easy to find lol. is there going to be diffrent factions with diffrent technology? or is it going to be all same tech with ship building around it. like um...drnit.. ah right like galatic civiizations. i can never remember the name of that game but put it right up there with my other comment lol. will it be like that in ship building where theres diffrent things that are placeholders for weapons? liek a hull type thing that looks sleek and one taht looks builky where they basicly provide the same stats but have diffrent palces for weaposn to go.

There won't be factions, at least not initially. There's the playable human race and an enemy alien race with it's own units and stations. There will hopefully also be a some neutral trader units.
Having different playable factions is beyond what we can do at the moment(being a tiny team) but it's a perfect oportunity for modders. Mods can easily be loaded or unloaded and even combined at the start of each game, so there's a lot of potential to cutomize the DSS experience as you want it to be.
As for turret placement, there will be a variety of spine elements, some of which have sockets for turrets. Did that answer your questions?

so an alien and human faction. do they have the same shipsets and technologies? becuase if they dont thats 2 factions right there lol. cool. ij wasnt realying asking for turret placement. i was asking more along if it was like galactic civilization ship building where there are random hull parts of diffrent kinds like sleek, pointy, tentecly, random stuff like that. where they didnt really have an effect on the ships health and stuff but with this it would probly be more a bigger hull would be more armored than a sleeker hull lol.

The humans and aliens are different and the aliens won't be playable. Their units are also simpler and not as customizable.
I don't think we'll have cosmetic hull parts like that. Doesn't seem worth the effort. But you never know what modders will come up with. It's technically definitely possible.

hopefully some of the planets will have unique resources liek endless space that will provide bonuses. they made it way more realish compared to others. and if it cant be done with launch maybe some modder can add it in hopefully

you going to tell the idea now later or pm me it lol ill jsut wait like everyone else. well if planets get added then maybe it will be there. but astriods could probly have some random bonuses to. they are made out of diffrent stuff to lol
